Li Yu and Ruyi bent down and followed the wall to a yard with a bamboo forest. They took out grayish-black pieces of cloth and covered their mouths and noses. Then, they took a few steps and leaped up. They stepped on the wall twice and flipped into the courtyard.

The two of them hid in the bamboo forest and determined their location. With a few leaps, they crossed a wooden bridge and quickly passed through the winding corridor. They hid in the dark from a few old women carrying lanterns on patrol. With the help of the dim yellow light, they ran towards the courtyard in front.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw blooming Chinese roses and a tall magnolia tree in the courtyard. Li Yu climbed up the wall and used the magnolia tree to enter the courtyard. She saw that there were two lights in the corner of the courtyard. Li Yu hid in the dark and watched Ruyi climb up the wall and onto the roof.

Ruyi lay on the roof and lifted the tiles. He took out the incense and lit it up. Then he lowered the incense into the room using a long piece of thread. He lay on the roof for almost 15 minutes and covered the tiles after pulling up the incense that had yet to burn out. He scaled down to the wall and jumped down. Then, he hid behind the tree and took over Li Yu’s watch.

Li Yu walked up the eaves corridor in a few steps and arrived at Ah Yue’s boudoir with light footsteps. She opened the door with a thin dagger and walked in. She saw two girls sleeping in the outer room and walked into the inner room. She saw Qing Zhu sleeping at the foot and Ah Yue sleeping on the bed.

Li Yu glanced at Ah Yue, who looked 60 to 70% like her. She picked up the long coat by the bed in disgust and wrapped it around Ah Yue. She carried her on her shoulder and went out to the courtyard.

Ruyi opened the courtyard door and left with Li Yu. The two of them returned to the bamboo forest the way they came. When he saw Li Yu easily climbing out of the courtyard wall while carrying Ah Yue, he couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up.

After leaving the Wang family, the two of them rushed back to the government office and tied Ah Yue up before locking her in the cellar.

Ruyi glanced at the sleeping Ah Yue and muttered to himself, “She looks so similar to Madam, but she has a vicious heart.”

Ruyi stood up, glanced at the two sleeping people in the cellar, took out the remaining knockout incense, lit it, and turned to leave the cellar.

Li Yu waited for Ruyi to come up from the cellar and said to Ruyi, “Once the city gate opens tomorrow morning, get them out of the city.”

Ruyi replied, “Are you going too?”

“Yes! It’s getting late. Go back and rest!”

Seeing that Ruyi had left, Li Yu turned around and went to the bathroom. After washing up, she returned to her room and saw that Gu Yu had already fallen asleep on the bed. Li Yu went forward and patted her gently. Gu Yu looked up and saw Li Yu. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and smiled shyly. She whispered, “Madam, you’re back! Young Master hasn’t woken up.”

Li Yu looked at the sleeping Yangyang and whispered with a smile, “Go and rest!”

“Yes, Madam.” Gu Yu left the room. Li Yu changed into her nightgown and kissed Yangyang’s face. She opened the blanket and slept.

At dawn the next day, Ruyi carried the two of them out of the cellar and placed them in the hidden box below the cart. She said to Li Yu, “Madam, where are you sending them?”

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, “Send them to a village a little further away and find a quiet place to drop them off.”

“Alright, after we leave the city, we’ll go to the construction site to take a look.

Thereafter, you can head back to the city while I find a place to abandon them.”

Ruyi drove Wang Zhong and Ah Yue out of Yunzhou City and went to the wasteland at the foot of the mountain. There were busy figures everywhere. Seeing that Li Yu had come to the wasteland early in the morning, Ji Xiang smiled and said, “Madam, it’s cold in the morning. You don’t have to come so early.”

Ruyi gave Ji Xiang a look, and Ji Xiang understood. He brought Li Yu around the wasteland while Ruyi drove the cart away from the wasteland and accelerated towards the remote town.

Li Yu took a walk around the construction site and drove the carriage back to the city. After more than an hour, Ruyi drove the carriage to a deserted mountain path and stopped the carriage. He carried Wang Zhong and Ah Yue out of the carriage and left them by the roadside.

The cold mountain wind blew on Wang Zhong and Ah Yue’s faces. Wang Zhong woke up and looked at Ah Yue lying beside him. He felt like he was in a dream. He glanced at Ah Yue and then at his crippled right hand. The person he had been thinking about was right in front of him and could be reached easily. Wang Zhong’s heart was in a dilemma. Should he send her back or take her away?

At this moment, Ah Yue woke up with a whimper. Her hand touched the weeds on the ground and she opened her eyes in shock. Ah Yue realized that she was lying in the wilderness and sat up in fright. She shouted, “Someone!” Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Wang Zhong looking at her in a daze. She stepped forward and slapped Wang Zhong’s face. She scolded, “You cheap slave, how dare you kidnap me?

Wang Zhong looked at Ah Yue and slowly stood up. “I was just wondering if you would be nice to me after you woke up. If you had begged me, I would have sent you back.” Wang Zhong pointed at Ah Yue with a ruthless expression. “But you called me a cheap slave. In the future, you’ll be mine. Let’s see if you still dare to scold me!”

Ah Yue shouted angrily, “How dare you? If my parents catch you, they’ll tear you apart.”

Wang Zhong looked around and licked his dry lips. He smiled sinisterly and said, “Do you think they can find you?” Seeing that the situation was bad, Ah Yue turned around and ran. Wang Zhong chased after her and grabbed her. Ah Yue begged, “Wang Zhong, as long as you send me back, I will make my parents let you go and let them thank you!”

“It’s too late. Do you really think I’m stupid?” Wang Zhong ignored Ah Yue’s pleas and knocked her out with a slap. He tucked her under his arm and walked towards the path on the mountain.

At this moment, it started to drizzle. It was cold in spring, and the drizzle was blown by the wind. Wang Zhong gritted his teeth and carried Ah Yue on his shoulder as he walked towards the mountain.

Qing Zhu woke up early in the morning and found that Miss was no longer in bed. Seeing that the long stole on the bed was no longer there, she thought that the Miss had woken up alone. She was a little surprised and hurriedly ran to the outer room. Seeing that the two little girls were still sleeping, she hurriedly patted them awake and scolded, “Miss is already up, but you’re still sleeping.”

The girl was in a daze after having just gotten up, but she started begging for mercy. “Sister Qing Zhu, spare us!”

“Forget it this time. I’ll deduct your monthly salary next time!” After saying that, Qing Zhu went to the courtyard and looked around, but she still didn’t see Miss. She panicked and hurriedly went to the garden to look for Miss, but she still couldn’t find her. She was as nervous as a cat. What should she do? Miss seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Qing Zhu remembered what Miss had asked Wang Zhong to do and didn’t dare to kick a big fuss. She asked the maidservants in the house to go out and look for her, but there was still no sign.

Qing Zhu felt a chill in her heart and ran to look for Madam Lin in panic. She knelt in front of the Lin family and cried, “Madam, Miss is missing.”

“What did you say? Ah Yue is missing?” Madam Lin looked at Qing Zhu and did not understand. Qing Zhu looked up at Madam Lin family and told her about how she had been looking for Ah Yue since she woke up early in the morning.

She cried and said, “I’ve searched everywhere I can, but I still can’t find Miss. Miss has disappeared just like that.”

After Madam Lin understood, she panicked and shouted, “Hurry up and find her! “
